After Zhou Jianzhong brought over Teacher Li and Teacher Zhang, he waited in the village committee office next door for the results, occasionally getting up to look around. He felt this matter was difficult to handle; he had talked to the two of them several times, but they remained adamant and wouldn't budge. He had tried to reason with them and appeal to their emotions...
He didn't expect Li Xiuyuan to solve the problem in one go. The key was to prevent things from escalating. He knew Li Xiuyuan's temper well. If things really got out of hand, and Li Xiuyuan got angry and stopped caring about the Meilin Village Primary School, then things would be difficult to handle.
This was an opportunity that we had worked so hard to get.
Zhou Jianzhong was pondering this when he heard a noise from the next office. He quickly came out of the room and saw Li Xiuyuan leading Teacher Li and Teacher Zhang out of the room.
All three of them had smiles on their faces and were chatting and laughing.
Seeing this, Zhou Jianzhong breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter if the deal fell through, as long as things didn't get too tense. If things got too tense, it wouldn't be good for Meilin Village, nor would it be good for Teacher Li and Teacher Zhang.
“Li Zhen.” Zhou Jianzhong approached.
Li Xiuyuan nodded, then looked at Zhou Jianzhong and said, "Director Zhou, Teacher Li and Teacher Zhang are both very righteous and have agreed. If Teacher Li and Teacher Zhang need anything in the village in the future, our village will definitely take care of them if we can. We can't let down the hearts of our grassroots educators. We also need to make it clear to the villagers that Teacher Li and Teacher Zhang have sacrificed a lot for the children in the village to have better learning conditions."
Li Xiuyuan spoke very politely, which brought smiles to the faces of Teacher Li and Teacher Zhang. In any case, they felt very comfortable.
Zhou Jianzhong wasn't stupid; how could he not understand what Li Xiuyuan meant? He just hadn't expected that Li Xiuyuan would handle it so easily.
Having tried to persuade him so many times without success, the two immediately agreed when Li Xiuyuan stepped in.
However, this was not the time to overthink things, so Zhou Jianzhong quickly nodded and assured him.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two teachers and slowly said, "Teacher Li, Teacher Zhang, then I won't see you off. I have some other work to do, so that's all."
"Li Zhen, please wait. Thank you, Li Zhen." The two shook hands with Li Xiuyuan again.
Li Xiuyuan turned and went back to his office. Teacher Li and Teacher Zhang also left. Zhou Jianzhong watched their backs and felt very uncomfortable. What did that mean?
I talked to you two for so long, and you were unmoved. But as soon as Li Xiuyuan approached you, you not only agreed but also thanked Mayor Li.
Am I, as the village head, completely powerless?
Zhou Jianzhong couldn't understand it. Could it be that Li Xiuyuan had agreed to some conditions? Zhou Jianzhong turned around and went into Li Xiuyuan's office.
Knowing that Li Xiuyuan was annoyed with her at this moment, she still tentatively asked, "Li Zhen, what conditions did you agree to?"
Li Xiuyuan looked up at Zhou Jianzhong and said, "I agree. Each person will receive a compensation of one thousand yuan. Your village will pay this amount at the end of the year."
